orange shirt day

The Lockport City School District, in partnership with Native American Community Services (NACS), invites families, students, and community members to join us in honoring National Day of Truth and Reconciliation & Orange Shirt Day on Tuesday, September 30, 2025, from 5:00–8:30 p.m. at the Lockport High School Auditorium (Door 3), 250 Lincoln Avenue.

This important evening is an opportunity to come together as a community to learn, reflect, and honor the experiences of Native children and families who were impacted by Indian Residential Schools. Orange Shirt Day serves as a reminder that every child matters and that healing and reconciliation begin with awareness and open conversation.

The evening will include:

  • Dinner (5:00–6:30 p.m.)

  • Documentary screening (6:35–7:10 p.m.)

  • Community Circles (7:15–7:45 p.m.)

  • Social Dance (7:45–8:30 p.m.)

We encourage families to attend and take part in this meaningful experience. Together, we can foster understanding, compassion, and unity as we acknowledge the past and commit to a stronger future for all.
